SERvICE TRuCK AND TRAILER INSTALLATION
The welder should be located to provide an unrestricted flow of
clean, cool air to the cooling air inlets and to avoid heated air
coming out of the welder recirculating back to the cooling air inlet.
Also, locate the welder so that engine exhaust fumes are properly
vented to an outside area. See Figure A.1
•
Improperly mounted concentrated loads may cause
unstable vehicle handling and tires or other
components to fail.
•
Only transport this welding equipment on serviceable
vehicles which are rated and designed for such loads.
•
Distribute, balance and secure loads so vehicle is
stable under conditions of use.
•
Do not exceed maximum rated loads for components
such as suspension, axles and tires.
